Kitchen order system

Abstract

A CPU 2 , a ROM 3 , a RAM 4 and an input/display part 5 are connected to a POS main unit 1 . A communication part 6 is connected to the CPU 2 for transmitting and receiving data to and from a handy terminal 10 and a kitchen 17 . In a main cooking menu 7 , data of main cooking names are collectively stored. In a sub-cooking menu 8 , three different cooking forms, i.e., “increase”, “deletion” and “addition” are described for each sub-cooking name. A check table 9 is provided as a data check table for checking whether a combination of one of a plurality of main cooking names of the main cooking menu 7 and one of a plurality of sub-cooking names of the sub-cooking menu 8 is proper.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A kitchen order system capable of transferring, to a kitchen, cooking item data representing a combination of a main cooking name selected from a main cooking menu and a sub-cooking name selected among a sub-cooking menu, wherein: 
 a data check table is provided for checking whether a combination of each of a plurality of main cooking names of the main cooking menu and each of a plurality of sub-cooking names of the sub-cooking menu is proper; and    when a sub-cooking name is inputted simultaneously with the input of the main cooking name, the input of the sub-cooking name is checked with reference to the data check table for executing, if the input is not proper, a notification that the inputted sub-cooking name is an input error.    
     
     
         2 . A kitchen order system capable of transferring, to a kitchen, cooking item data representing a combination of a main cooking name selected from a main cooking menu and a sub-cooking name selected among a sub-cooking menu, wherein: 
 a data check table is provided for checking whether a combination of each of a plurality of main cooking names of the main cooking menu and each of a plurality of sub-cooking names of the sub-cooking menu is proper; and    when a main cooking name is inputted, a sub-cooking name properly corresponding to the inputted main cooking name is taken out from the data check table for selecting the sole taken-out sub-cooking name as the sub-cooking menu.    
     
     
         3 . The kitchen order system according to one of claims  1  and  2 , wherein the data of the main cooking menu and the sub-cooking menu are stored in a handy terminal for inputting a cooking item name to transfer cooking item data thereof to the kitchen.  
     
     
         4 . The kitchen order system according to one of claims  1  and  2 , the data of the main cooking menu and the sub-cooking menu are stored in an external database and obtained from a handy terminal, which is provided for inputting a cooking item name, by communicating the external database for transferring cooking item data to the kitchen.  
     
     
         5 . The kitchen order system according to one of  claims 1  to  4 , which further comprises an additional report forming part for statistically collecting the frequencies of transfer of the main cooking menu and the sub-cooking menu to the kitchen.  
     
     
         6 . The kitchen order system according to  claim 5 , wherein the report forming part is provided in the handy terminal or in the external database.
